The reference for milling is 1 kg of metal removed. As there is a large variation from factory to factory with regard to the LCI, it is advised that in case this dataset becomes important in the results, it has to be investigated further if the rough estimations made are applicable or not. If you do not know how much has been removed by turning you can use 0.23kg of this process per kg of final product as an average assumption.

This dataset encompasses the direct electricity consumption of the machine as well as compressed air and lubricant oil. Furthermore, the metal removed is included. Machine as well as factory infrastructure and operation are considered as well. The disposal of the lubricant oil is also included while the metal removed is assumed to be recycled. Degreasing is not included and has to be added if necessary
